Embracing God’s Patience

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotional for Tuesday, 7/29/25

“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:8-9 NIV

“The apparent delay in Christ’s return is a gift of mercy, a sign that God is extremely patient. In His great love, He waits, granting people the opportunity to come to repentance and be saved, not wanting anyone to perish.” Jeremiah Study Bible Notes

The Days of Noah: A Reflection on Our Times

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotional for Tuesday, 7/22/25

“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew 24:37-39, NIV 1984)

My thoughts: What was it like in the days of Noah? Watch TV.

The Certainty of God’s Plans

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotional for Monday, 7/21/25

“Remember the former things, those of long ago;
    I am God, and there is no other;
    I am God, and there is none like me.
I make known the end from the beginning,
    from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
    and I will do all that I please.’
From the east I summon a bird of prey;
    from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
    what I have planned, that I will do.” Isaiah 46:9-11 (emphasis mine)

My Advice: Read your Bible and stay informed.

Understanding Noble Character in Berean Jews

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 7/18/25

“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17:11 (emphasis mine)

What does noble character mean?

virtuous, good, honorable, honest, upright, upstanding, decent, worthy,  uncorrupted, moral, ethical, reputable

A person of noble character will examine the Scriptures to find truth. They do not examine the Scriptures to prove their own opinion. Big difference.

Renew Your Strength: Hope in the Lord

Cindy Dawson

Meditation for Thursday, 7/17/25

“Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

Finding Hope Through Perseverance

Cindy Dawson

The Call to Make Disciples

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 7/11/25

Jesus said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (emphasis mine)

Making a disciple is more than leading someone in the sinner’s prayer. It includes teaching and supporting them in their faith. Making a disciple is a tall order and not one that someone can easily accomplish alone. The Church must work together, each one doing his part. We must ask ourselves: Am I doing my part?

The Power of God’s Love: Insights from Lamentations 3:21-24

Cindy Dawson

Verses for Meditation, 7/3/25

Israel had been decimated by Assyrian armies… Judah’s elite (including Daniel and his three Hebrew friends) had been deported to Babylon… The temple was obliterated, the walls of the city flattened. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Yet amid the devastation, the writer of Lamentations says,

“Yet this I call to mind
    and therefore I have hope:  Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”” Lamentations 3:21-24
